A Boeing 747 airliner holds 57,285 gallons of fuel
A 747 Classic averages 12,000 kg of fuel per hour. The 747-400 uses about 10,500 kg. per hr. These numbers also depend upon aircraft weight, altitude and temperature.
57,000 gallons or 216,000 liters of fuel.
The 747-400ER can carry more than 63,500 gallons of fuel (240,370 L).
The accepted average weight of Jet A fuel is 6.84 pounds per gallon based on specific gravity (but varies based on temperature, additives, etc.) The Boeing 747-400ER can carry more than 63,500 gallons of fuel which is about 434,340 pounds fuel load weight. Information provided by Jet Advisors
Depends on which series 747. If we're looking at the last two series (400, 400 ER, 8i), they're 57,285, 63,705, and 64,225 gallons respectively.
I'm afraid there is no one answer to your question, since there have been many different variants of the 747. The fuel capacity ranges from 48,445 gallons (183,380 L) in the ancient 747-100 model to 64,055 gallons (242,470 L) in the hi-tech 747-800 Intercontinental.
two sheep.
Depends on the specific airliner. Answer 2 Yes, it depends on the size of the aircraft but to give you an idea, a 747 will carry 50,000-60,000 gallons. Pilots usually think of fuel in pounds, not gallons. 50,000 gallons is about 300,000 pounds. The fuel capacity varies even among different versions of the 747. This is about half of the maximum takeoff weight. with full passenger load.
Different models of 747 use different engines from different companies with slightly different fuel consumption rates. A ballpark-accurate figure would be 400 gallons per engine, at idle speed. So with 4 engines on each aircraft, that's 1,600 gallons burned per hour just for sitting there at idle speed, not even taxi speed.
